The Rock Where my Mother Played

hear the notes of the whippoorwin,
As of old in the gathering shade;
sit by the rock on the quiet hill
Where in girlhood my mother played
With cheeks out-blooming the morning flowers,
And with heart as light as May,
1t was there she came in the golden hours
BY the ichened rock to play. ..
granite waif, by glacier borne
From a far-away northern sea;
1t seemed so lonely from kindred torn,
That she kept it company.
Till all in fancy of wtching dream
1t shone with a glimmering light,
While fairies trooped in the moons pale beam,
To dance through the summer night.
And such was her tender grace to me,
As wandered the forest wild,
That ever the fairies seemed to be
Her playmates when child.
And she Queen OF the Sylphid race
On her silvery throne held sway,
But alas 1 dream of her girlish face,
And the rock is cold and gray.
For the fairies went when my mother died,
And my years were scarcely ten;
1 come tonight from wandering wide,
But they never will come again.
love the garden and orchard old,
The meadows her footsteps prest;
And the stately oaks that shook their gold
In the lap of their gentle guest
love the spring and the ripping rill,
Where in evening she often strayed;
But dearer to me the quiet hill,
And the rock where my mother played

The Sabbath of the Year.

Autumn the preacher i, and look!
As other preachers do,
He takes q text from one great Book,
A text both sad and true.
With sad and earnest voice he saith,
In tones of gentle grief,
Fitting the ministry of death,
eye all fade as a leaf"
And then the wind ariseth slow
And giveth out psalm,
And the organ pipes begin to blow
Within the forest calm;
And all the trees lift up tn cir hands,
And lift their voices higher,
And sing the notes Of spirit bands
In full and glorious choir.
1t is the Sabbath of the year,
And it doth almost seem
Though words of reverence and fear
Should think of such d theme,
That the is gathered for the bread,
And the berries for the wine,
And the sacramental feast is spread
Like the Christians pardon sign.
And the year, with sighs of penitence,
The holy feast bends o'er,
For she must die and go from hence,
Die and be seen no more.
Then are the choir and organ still,
The psalm melts on the air,
The wind bows down beneath the hill,
And all Is hushed in prayer.
And tn sun descendeth in the west
Like patriarch of old,
Or like a saint who has gone to rest,
His robe and his crown of gold;
And forth his arm he stretches wide,
And in solemn tones and clear
He blesseth in the eventide
The Sabbath of the Year.

AmInteresting suit.

A very interesting case is on trial be-
fore Judge O'Melveny in the Superior
Court, 1t is a suit brought by Mrs.
Marie s. de Hall ct al, to set aside a
conveyance of the following property,
valued at over 500. 900:
Commencing on the northeast corner
Of Spring and Third streets, thence
northerly along the easterly line OF
Spring street AZ feet and inches; thence
at right angles with Spring street easter.
ly parallel with the northerly line OF
Third street to the land OF Hellmau;
thence southerly along the westerly line
of the lands of Helmau, etc., to the
north line of Third street; thence wester-
ly along the north line of Third street TO
Spring and the point OF beginning.
The petitioners, who were the heirs OF
Dolores Valenzuela de Foster, deceased.
allege that defendants, Gustave Perret
ct al. and Gerruaes Nevrillo de Perrel
fraudulently obtained from Dolores Fos-
ter deed to the property on July 23
1856, when she was i'll and weak. 1t
was also alleged that defendants refused
to allow deceased to see her children or
to send for them; that they kept her
from seeing her physician and refused to
allow her to see her legal adviser, II. T.
Gage, and threatened TO abandon her if
she did not sign the deed. The plain
tiffs put Daniel kevane on the stand
but the testimony expected to be OBJ
tained from him was not forthcoming.

day extended beyond Seventh street.
Tomorrow it will about reach the south
